Am happy you like it, Flea! That was a great truck with a lot of power to it, that 1C turbo really adds some kick. What are your plans for the truck? Going to restore it, or just use it as a work/offroad rig?
The usefullness of the mule is without bounds. I wish they were cheaper, but I understand the fact they are now collectable, and so useful, it drives the value up and out of my price range. I saw one for $800 about 10 years back, I must've been stoopid to pass that up. Next ignorant farmer I...
Wow, Mark! How'd you get those back in the country? There is almost an official ban on US Armor and military items being brought back into the country from overseas, no matter how old, just curious how you managed to succeed.
Very nice pics of your restoration. What country did you find...
RE: a thort
That reminds me of the ones I sold to AMGeneral last Aberdeen. Got a bunch of HEAVY clevises and hooks from Coleman's a while back, since he is the kind of all that is heavy iron, I thought it was a fitting home!
Very nice -715 there! Looks like the previous owner removed the gas can holders, inverted the taillights (???), and removed the pintle hook as well. Other than that, VERY clean! Welcome aboard!
When Rob and I bought two deuces from Chambersburg PA back in June, and the EUC was approved, I was able to borrow a towbar and light setup from another Steel Soldier. So, that covers the lights (you can homebuild your own light setup with a 6-conductor cable about 20 feet long, a trailer...
Was over at ShieldWolf's place on Sunday, he finally got his M37 running, and running well (a little tick in a valve, but hey, it's 56 years old!). Found out that his M37 was one of the first off the line, production began in Jan 1951, and his is dated the end of Jan 1951. Sweet!
He found...
Am thinking about a project deuce for the winter - might involve a pipeline deuce headache rack. Couple questions about that major part:
1. What is the physical size of the rack, in length x width x height ?
2. Can this be mounted in the bed, rather than directly on the frame?
3. Is there a...
Multicolor stickers. Not sure what you mean by "layered", Dave. Need to be relatively weather-resistant, though, since they will be on the outside of a truck.
Does anyone know of a company that can create stickers of a good quality from a .jpg picture or similar computer format? I am interested in putting large (no bigger than 1 foot high) decals of a vehicle's previous unit's logo on it, but haven't found anyone capable of doing that.
I've heard that HMMWV tires on an M880 will eat the fenders when you go offroad. Is there a minimum lift that should be performed in order to safely put 36" HMMWV tires on the -880 series? 3"? 4"?

My dad was in Southeast Asia from 1963 to 1967, Vietnam most of the time. 12B, spent a lot of time building roads and bridges that our convoys rolled over until the end of the war. Anyways, he told me that when it came to Asian...
